Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Melb: Hailstorm

    My car just got a beating by golf-ball sized hail stones. I hope there is no serious damage.

                  I was frantic,as my Jetta was parked near Southern Cross station,and Spencer Street shopping centre,ex DFO,had to be closed down because of severe damage.
                  I was dreading getting back to my car,but it seems ALL GOOD.
                  Then took 3 hours to drive home a distance of 15 kilometers...
                  What a day...

                    Mine got done in

                    I was at the Vic Markets today. I saw the menacing cloud cover, but couldn't reach the little beast (2003 2.0 Golf) before the heavens opened up

                    He took some damage: front plastic guard between the front window and bonnet has 2 large holes and a small crack; bonnet and roof have lots of small dents (10+ on the roof at least).

                    OK guys, a little help with some names of good hail damage repair places in Melb would be nice.

                    Does anyone know the name/prod-id of the plastic guard between the bonnet and front windows (the window wipers come through this plastic guard)?

                          1 storm is pretty cool...Was there for the NYE and New Years Day storms...Up here in Townsville we have had 3 days of dry weather for the first time in over 4 months.

                            the hail set my alarm off, but i didnt notice any damage, thankfully.

                            victoria's screwed. we got more ice outta the sky today than we usually do during the snow season.

                            why oh why do i continually fork out $1400 a season to ski on dirt???

                              Sounded pretty terrible. My sister who lives in Melb had damage to her apartment and it flooded her room. A lot of her possesions were ruined.
